    The One Mile Telescope was completed by the Radio Astronomy Group of Cambridge University in 1964. The telescope was … See more

    Technical innovations

    The One-Mile Telescope was the first telescope to use Earth-rotation aperture synthesis (described by Ryle as "super-synthesis" ) and the first to give radio maps with a resolution better than that of the human eye… See more

    Notable achievements

    Over a 20-year career, the telescope was used to map individual objects, and to do several deep field surveys. Though still occasionally used, it is now essentially retired (one of the dishes is occasionally used for un… See more
